"Bring weapons and get dressed, otherwise you'll freeze to death."
"Each team should guard the corresponding positions to prevent enemy attacks..."
After giving the order, the entire army took action after hearing the news. Except for the "three troops" who needed to go out, the soldiers in the camp rushed to various parts of the camp according to previous drills to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
One thing to say is that this unit is not an elite force. How can I say that in terms of military quality? If you want to describe it with Yun Jing, it can only be said that it needs to be improved. Amidst the shouting, it took nearly five minutes for each team to fail to fully reach the designated position.
In the defensive position, many people were not even properly dressed, and some had forgotten their weapons...
Even though the emergency happened suddenly, this kind of efficiency... is not bad. The requirements cannot be too high.
It's not easy for the soldiers in this severe cold weather. I'm not quibbling for them. The fact is that they responded quickly. There are elite troops that can quickly assemble to respond in a very short time under an order, but they are not
This army.
Reality is not a matter of words. In fact, most armies, including those of other countries, can achieve such efficiency, which is pretty good. Those who can execute orders and prohibitions are the best of the best.
Call it ace!
All parties were busy, and on the open school field, it took almost eight minutes for the teams of the "Sanwu" to gather together. Yunjing saw it and felt anxious in his heart, but it was useless to be anxious. He could only stare, and his efficiency was so low.
So, ordinary soldiers, how much more can you ask for in such severe cold weather?
As a rescue force, Adjutant He was even more anxious than Yun Jing. His urging voice was so loud that it broke his voice, and the whip in his hand was so anxious that he whipped several people. But the efficiency was so high that he could only urge at the same time.
When the people were almost assembled, Adjutant He said in a deep voice: "Count the number of people in each team, and each captain will check the weapons and equipment. Immediately, immediately!"
Amidst the urgent urging, Yun Jing followed Adjutant He. Although he wanted to fly to Liu Fang and the others, he couldn't mess around after joining the army and could only follow the large army.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to improve the efficiency of the army.
After thinking about it, there is actually only one way, and that is training. The more you train, the more efficient you will be.
However, training involves a problem, that is, this era is not comparable to his previous life. Here, the soldiers can barely eat two meals a day. How can they have so much energy and physical strength to train?
As far as Yun Jing knows, for the army here, when there is no war, it is normal for an army to only train three or five times a month. Those who train more than ten times are elite soldiers.
It was still a time when there was no war, and when the soldiers were out on an expedition, the soldiers were always on tenterhooks. How could they have time to train? Most of them fought when there was a war, and rested as much as possible to preserve their strength when there was no war.
The reality is like this. Which general doesn't want to have an elite force under his command? However, there are too many things to consider, and it is useless to just think about it...
The number of the first corps is about 500, but the number of the currently assembled third corps is obviously not full, it is about 450 people. The rest are not sure whether they were deserters or they didn't have time to come.
When the people below were urgently counting the team, Adjutant He saw Yun Jing beside him, and then he realized that Yun Jing was assigned to him. After thinking about it, he asked: "Master Yun, right? Can you ride a horse?"
"Go back to the general, I'll meet you," Yun Jing nodded.
The other party twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously wanting to laugh, but he held it back, shook his head and said: "Don't call him general, I'm just an adjutant." He paused, and then said: "Since you can ride a horse, then I will make arrangements for you.
A horse, follow me closely after setting off."
"Thank you, General." Yun Jing nodded and said, not being polite. Anyway, it was whatever the other party arranged.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the people below had already counted the number of people and reported. Adjutant He said in a deep voice: "Let's set off immediately. The target is more than 30 miles in the direction of Xianyang City. We will march quickly. The rest who have not arrived and those who are late will have their own inspections.
Register, count, and deal with military law, let’s go!”
Someone had already brought the horses nearby. As soon as he finished speaking, Adjutant He immediately got on his horse and led the way outside the camp. Yunjing also got on the horse prepared for him and followed.
Most war horses have tempers, and it is difficult for strangers to get close to them. However, the horse Yunjing rides is extremely docile. Adjutant He paid attention to it and thought that Yunjing's riding skills were good.
In fact, the docility of the horses here in Yunjing has nothing to do with riding skills, it is purely due to his affinity with animals.
It is worth mentioning that there are only about twenty war horses assigned to this team. After all, they are not cavalry. In other words, most of the soldiers need to walk for reinforcements, and now it is freezing and snowy, with snow on the ground up to two feet thick.
, such a marching speed can be imagined.
They are going to rescue, but Liu Fang and the others are still waiting to be rescued. In short, in one word, they are anxious to death!
But there was no way, this was already the fastest time they set off.
Looking back towards the direction of the military camp, Yun Jing vaguely heard screams. Some deserters were caught during patrols while hiding, and were dealt with on the spot according to military regulations. Six of them had their heads chopped off!
That kind of person does not deserve sympathy. War is not a child's play. Deserters are shameful. If they are not dealt with according to military regulations, others will be embarrassed if they follow the same example.
Of course, there are also people who fail to arrive under special circumstances. Those people do not really want to escape, but they are still punished. Beheading is not a problem, but beatings are certain. The specific handling is clearly stated. In short, it is very sad...
Adjutant He led the military department to set out for rescue. When he left the camp, almost fifteen minutes had passed since he received the call for help, not counting the time it took for the person asking for help to travel.
Adjutant He urged the troops to hurry up and said to Liu Fang that you must hold on.
However, what is annoying is that in such weather, the marching speed is really hard to increase, and the horseback riders are not much better. Although the old horses know the way, the problem is that the horse stepped on the snow, and half of the horse's legs were sunk in with one foot.
, how can this increase the marching speed?
The troops on foot behind them were even more annoyed. They stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, making it difficult to walk. It was normal for them to fall over, and sometimes several people rolled into a ball.
There's nothing he can do about it, the road is too difficult.
Then, just a few minutes after the troops set off, the team stretched out in front and back, with hundreds of people stretching hundreds of meters apart...
Yunjing repeatedly warned himself that this was reality and not a joke. The kind of army that could come and go like the wind in such an environment only existed in dreams.
Adjutant He rode his horse to urge the troops to hurry up, and then ran forward to lead the way.
Even though I was so anxious that I cursed my mother, there was nothing I could do about it at the moment.
He was still very responsible, so he simply distracted himself, looked at Yun Jing and said, "Mr. Yun, you are young, have you ever gone into battle to kill an enemy?"
"I have never participated in a formal war, but I have practiced martial arts since I was a child and have experienced many fights with others," Yunjing replied.
The other party nodded and said: "Well, that's good. Don't be nervous later. Once the battle starts, you just kill the enemy in front of you just like you usually do with others. You can trust your comrades behind you. I
I will try my best to take care of you, but you have to be careful yourself. It’s not enough to rely entirely on others. You need to learn to grow in battle.”
"Thank you, General He, for the suggestion," Yunjing nodded.
Shaking his head, Adjutant He said: "I told you not to call me general, I'm just an adjutant." After a pause, he looked at Yun Jing's weapons, thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yun, the battlefield is not as good as fighting in the rivers and lakes.
When competing with others, the purpose of everything is to kill the enemy, so weapons like long swords are very disadvantageous on the battlefield."
"What can General He teach me?" Yun Jing asked humbly.
He said: "On the battlefield, the best weapon is a spear. It does not mean that one inch is long and one inch is strong. It is that the spear pokes a hole and has the most lethality. The second is heavy weapons. Hitting the enemy will result in broken bones and tendons.
, then the long knife, which is also very powerful when cutting, and finally the long sword."
"The reason why this happens is because there is no time for you to use fancy martial arts skills on the chaotic battlefield. Killing with one blow is the best option. Let me tell you this, a veteran of hundreds of battles, his cultivation may not be very good.
But such veterans, even if they are in the early stage of acquired cultivation, will still have the opportunity to kill some martial arts practitioners in the middle stage of acquired life. The reason why this happens is because veterans know how to kill people in the simplest and most direct way!"
"Just now I told you that spears are best used on the battlefield. There is a reason. Especially in this season, everyone wears a lot of clothes, and many enemies are still wearing armor. You may scratch them with your swords.
It's like it's itchy, especially swords and weapons of poor quality. If they are stronger, they will break and bend. How can you still fight? But the spear is different. If you poke it, there will be a hole. Do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing what he said, Yunjing said sincerely: "I have learned a lesson."
"Young Master Yun, you are polite, but these are just superficial experiences gained from being on the battlefield many times. Even if I don't tell you, you will understand after being on the battlefield a few more times," Adjutant He shook his head.
After a few words, he couldn't help but ride his horse to urge the army behind him.
Of course, the soldiers who are stretching the line behind are afraid of death. After all, who is not afraid of death? It seems a bit slow, but marching in this weather is really difficult. After all, ordinary soldiers don't have much martial arts training. They are on their way.
It's a long-standing problem.
Again and again, Yunjing sighed in his heart that it was too realistic.
The road is southbound, so we can only hurry up as much as possible.
After Yunjing set off, although he was following the large army, his telekinesis was silently extending towards Xianyang City. When their army was still about ten kilometers away from the battlefield, Yunjing's telekinesis was already ahead of schedule.
Arrive in one step.
Then he 'saw', in the ice and snow, there were shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons was harsh, hundreds of people were fighting in a melee, corpses were everywhere, and the bright red blood stains on the snow were shocking.
Liu Fang and his logistics team were at an absolute disadvantage. They formed a circle around the city with chariots and horses to resist the enemy. They had been fighting for who knows how long. Their number was reduced to only one-third of the original number, and they were still resisting.
There is no way, there is no way to run away.
The number of enemies is more than double theirs, and half of them are cavalry... Well, there is a saying, in such weather, the snow on the ground is up to two feet thick, and the advantage of the cavalry cannot be used at all. This is probably the reason.
Even after such a long delay, Liu Fang and the others were not completely eliminated.
A large number of enemy troops surrounded Liu Fang and others, and nibbled and eliminated them bit by bit. At the same time, there were about a dozen cavalry more than a thousand meters away in the direction of Yunjing and the others. They clearly knew that there were troops stationed in this direction to prevent reinforcements from being notified to the rear at any time.
.
Seeing the battlefield over there, how should I put it, Yunjing admitted that the scene was very tragic, but the fact is that both sides wore more clothes in the winter. Just as Adjutant He said, the swords in the hands of ordinary soldiers slashed at the opponent,
If it's not a critical injury, most of the time the defense won't be broken at all. Most of the time, the two of them will get entangled and roll around on the ground...
There are people who can kill a child with an unparalleled sword on the battlefield, but there are very few. And how can such a person not be targeted by the enemy's masters?
There are no very powerful experts on Liu Fang's side. Liu Fang himself is only in the middle stage of the day after tomorrow. He can barely kill ordinary enemy soldiers with one sword. However, he has already been injured. He is still resisting regardless of his own injuries. There is despair in his eyes.
.
Yunjing has a panoramic view of all these situations. No matter what, as long as it is within the observation range of his telekinesis, it is his attack range!
The first thing to suffer was the enemy's dozen or so cavalry who were guarding the battlefield more than a thousand meters apart.
Puff puff……
The sharp blade on one of the cavalrymen flew up under the control of Yun Jing, and cut across their necks as fast as lightning. Blood spurted out. They didn't even know how they died, and fell down on the snow with a ghostly look on their faces.
